Special Events
When EWTN began broadcasting 24 hours a day, a new emphasis on live event
programs helped fill the schedule. As the network began to cover papal

their national meetings, beatifications and canonizations, live daily
Mass, and holy day events from major shrines.

shares in the universality of the Church's life.
